Izakaya Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 3 week, 2 defeats and a draw just to end up with Eddie Howe, who we could have easily got the day the takeover was announced. These cunts really look like a gaggle of fuckwits here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no issues with the timescales of getting a new manager in place. If we could get Rafa in December I’d wait rather than bringing Howe in, but that’s unlikely isn’t it. bring Howe in, if he’s rubbish just sack him. Easy.

Howe wouldn't be nowhere near my first choice and his reign at Bournemouth didn't end the best but I feel he has potential as a manager and would do better than people think. I think it was great we went for Emery but I'm not surprised he turned it down considering where we currently are in the league and his current team are in the Champions League. Hopefully if Howe does come in, we can get a good DOF in to make the signings (Howe's weak point) and get a good defensive coach in too. I think he probably would. He wasn't exactly inundated with better offers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

hakka Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Just now, The Prophet said: I think Howe would be a good, solid appointment. It would just a bit disappointing after we thought we had Emery in the bag. Good and solid? Then why hasn't he been considered for other sides like Palace, Watford, Everton, Wolves etc. Just reeks of scraping the barrel of managers that are better than Bruce, so hopefully can keep us up. Massive job for him, very different to the Bournemouth challenge which eventually he oversaw his own demise. I probably would be happy if in an alternative universe where we weren't taken over if Ashley just sacked Bruce and brought in Howe. It's just in this one where we have it seems a huge climb down to Howe. I can't get behind good and solid describing Howe, but more than happy for him to prove me wrong. Times running out so I'll get behind Howe as experienced bur with risk. I felt whoever we got they needed November and December to sort out squad and prepare for what they want to change in January.

Wolfcastle Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Emerys quotes about not liking the pressure and liking the easy life in Villareal means he was wrong for us anyway and sound not be mourned in the slightest. If that's his attitude it was a poor choice on our part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 As I have said a few times, I personally think Howe would be a good and solid appointment, he plays a decent brand of football, comes across really well, clearly wants the job, and has a decent acumen in the job he did with Bournemouth, which people seem to weirdly sleep on. I've always thought he would be a decent fit here under the right owners, even when he was still at Bournemouth. I also believe he is a coach that could evolve and progress with the club as we hopefully go up the league. I can understand the disappointment of Emery not coming here, he is a top class Champions League manager, but realistically, we're 19th in the Premier League 6 points adrift of safety, there needs to be a bit of a rain check of what we can currently do. Is Howe the most attractive name in the world, probably not, does that make him a bad appointment, not in the slightest. Also, the club have clearly taken there time to interview a lot of different managers to make sure they have the right fit in place, and if Howe was the one to be at the top of that list, then he clearly has something about him, and that itself should put a few peoples mind at ease.

huss9 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 not keen on howe, but the other way to look at it is he may have stayed too long, got into a rut and couldnt get himself out. he's had time off to recouperate and analyse where it may have gone wrong. new set of players (admittedly shit) and a new environment may be just what he needs.

Geogaddi Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I think appointing Howe confirms relegation this season , was always going to be hard to stay up due to the mess we are in but I thought if we got a half decent manager in we had a chance, especially as he would be able to attract better players in January. I think Howe kills that and lessens us being able to attract some good players in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 If the Athletic have said Howe is second choice behind Emery (having both been interviewed) and the Telegraph are reporting he still wants the gig, I'd expect it to be wrapped up pretty sharpish.

cubaricho Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Howe keeps us up. And he will for the season or two he gets after. All the while we are building up the club's infrastructure so we can get the top candidates once we move on from Howe. It's not sparkling and covered in excitement but it's really not the end of the world like some of y'all are making it out to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
